Diet and Exercise

Maintain a Balanced Diet

Eating a diet rich in whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can support hormonal health. Avoid processed foods and excessive sugar intake.

Engaging in regular physical activity helps regulate hormones and improve overall well-being. Aim for a mix of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and flexibility exercises.

Chronic stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness.

Adequate Sleep

Ensure you get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a sleep-friendly environment by keeping your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

Proper hydration is essential for overall health and can support hormonal balance. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Limit exposure to environmental toxins, such as pesticides and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which can negatively impact hormonal health.

Questions, answered by our team

Short videos from our own team. Your provider reviews your situation at your consultation.

How do I qualify for TRT?Rodney Menezes of Evolve explains the labs and symptoms a provider looks at.

What to expect

  1. Consultation

    You describe your symptoms, when they started and what you have already tried. Your provider reviews your health history, medications and any past lab results.

  2. Lab testing

    Blood work checks the hormones your symptoms point to, which may include thyroid and sex hormones. Results help separate a hormone problem from other causes.

  3. Your plan, if appropriate

    If labs show a deficiency, your provider explains the treatment options and what monitoring involves. Some hormone conditions call for a specialist, and your provider may recommend one.

  4. Follow-up

    Follow-up visits and repeat labs track how you are doing, so your provider can fine-tune the plan.

Safety and side effects

Side effects depend on which hormone is replaced. Taking more of a hormone than your body needs can cause its own symptoms, which is why levels are rechecked during treatment.

Thyroid, sex hormone and other hormone treatments each carry their own risks. Your provider reviews risks, benefits and alternatives with you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Your provider will answer anything else at your consultation.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on the plan your provider recommends, which can vary with the hormones involved and the testing you need along the way. You can ask for pricing at your consultation, so you understand the cost of testing and any treatment before you decide how to proceed.

Am I a candidate?

You may be if you have symptoms that suggest a hormone change and lab testing confirms a low level. Your provider decides after reviewing your history and results. Pregnancy, a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, or untreated heart or clotting conditions may rule out some treatments, and your provider can talk through other options.

Which hormones are tested?

It depends on your symptoms, age and health history. Testing can include thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, along with general health markers. Your provider chooses the labs that fit your situation and explains what each result means for you, so you understand the reasoning behind any plan.

What if my labs come back normal?

Normal results are useful information. They suggest your symptoms may have another cause, such as sleep problems, stress, nutrition or a different health condition, and hormone treatment is usually not recommended in that case. Your provider can talk through what to look at next, which may include a referral.

What if I'm pregnant or planning a pregnancy?

Tell your provider before any testing or treatment. Some hormone treatments are not used during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Others, such as thyroid medicine, are often continued and may need adjusting. Your provider can explain how pregnancy, breastfeeding or plans for a family affect your options.

Can supplements or medications affect my results?

Yes. Some medications change hormone levels, and some supplements can interfere with lab tests. Biotin, found in many hair, skin and nail products, can affect certain blood test results, including thyroid tests. Bring a complete list of what you take so your provider can interpret your labs and check for interactions.
